My first bear. 501lbs. My two dogs and 15 others.

Congrads on the bear, Is that a sow?

Congrats, that is a toad.


17 dogs on the bear! Must have been quite the roar in the woods!

Thanks guys! No, its a boar.
Man, u talk bout one heck of a race and roar. lol.

We hunted the 1998 bear season in Washington and Terrell Counties in NC. That's no joke, when they dump the dogs on a track in the early morning when the air is cold and still. The roar that comes off of a pack of hounds that large is something you're not likely to forget, the hair on your neck will be standing up!
Congrat's on a fine trophy.

Thank you and well put Hollowpoint.

HAHA, you're screwed now! Hope u weren't planning on being a rich man. Seen alot of broke guys start out this way...LOL! Myself included

Lol, thanks dereel208.

i've seen alot o massive bear come from north carolina. biggest i seen was 652 pounds. was the brush pretty thick fer ya ha. and did you tree it or bay it on the ground?

I yea, it was some of the thickest stuff ive bn in.
Both, they treed him in bout 20mins after free castin them in one of those thick bays. Tied dogs back, put it on his head and shot, he went limp and fell out bout 60 feet, hit the ground, bounce and ran off!!! Made a big lap in the bay and came back towards us, ran out the tunnels they got threw those bays and guy shot him comin around a log and the bear stopped wheeled around and started fightin dogs, i shot 3 quick shots threw his shoulders and back and he rolled up dead and shot one more time in the head to make sure he was dead.

I frequent these areas, and was in a large hunt club in Tyrell. I mostly hunt across the sound from these two counties, but we do turn out a lot to hopefully put them up a tree closer to a field, as the swamps are rough. There are some big big bears on the coasts, and that is a fine representative. Those big bears don't much like to tree.

Nice Bear

Congratulations, that is one nice bear!

Nice bear. That one will be hard to top. You may have set the bar too high. haha

Thats a hog.

Congradulations.
